As part of the project, the AMBORA knowledge database was established—a freely accessible online platform that provides healthcare professionals with up-to-date, evidence-based information on oral anticancer drugs. The database lists all oral cancer medications relevant in Germany and provides structured information on, among other things, mechanisms of action, side effects, and drug interactions. In addition, an information platform was created with content for healthcare professionals as well as for patients, providing easy-to-understand information on oral cancer therapy, managing side effects, and the safe handling of cancer medications at home.
The project, funded by the Lesmüller Foundation, aimed to establish the AMBORA knowledge database for oral anticancer drugs. The database provides medical and pharmaceutical professionals with structured, evidence-based monographs on oral anticancer drugs, including information on mechanisms of action, side effects, drug interactions, and specific usage considerations. In addition, the AMBORA website was expanded to include information for patients and their families, providing clear guidance on oral cancer therapy, managing side effects, and the safe handling of cancer medications at home. For healthcare professionals, a download section with training and counseling materials was also made available, and the technical, data protection, and IT security infrastructure for a drug information inquiry service was established.
